The other day I gave T a 1/2 bagel with jelly she was funny, she figured out how to put it on her thumb & eat it..
Pure joy at the revelation she could hold it with her thumb
She was a sticky mess when she was done , but she loved the snack
Cute little sweater Ithink gma Jackie got her, looked so cute with her jeans
Momma had a snow delay so she got some extra momma time this morning. She has been a little cranky today, but I put together this basket (thanks for the basket Jackie I have found lots of different uses for it already), that had lots of different kitchen utentsils. Montessori says children need to play with & explore using "real life" objects. Its nice that toy makers may small versions of alot of these things for kids to use in a play kitchen but Maria Montessori (who studied children birth to 7 biggest learning in a childs life) says its important for children to get a sense of "the real world" around them. T enjoyed pulling things out & playing/observing them & then we played where I would ask her for something out of the basket & tell her to put it in the cup. She is very smart, & did very well at this game after I showed her all the items 1st & their names.
we had an ice cream scoop, measuring cups & spoons, tongs,spatula, cheese spreader, melon baller, potato masher, wooden spoon
